road warrior Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Hi folks A technical question for you... I have an MY95 WRX import At low revs, about 2000 - 3000 it seems to splutter a bit, before clearing up and seems OK at higher revs It feels similar to the overboost kicking in at higher revs, a bit of a dip, then runs ok, does this maybe 2 or 3 times then clears up Happens more when the car is cold, but sometimes happens when warmed up too Done an ECU fault code check this afternoon, and all is clear there Any thaughts? Idle valve? Coil pack? Plugs? Leads? Ive done a search here but cant find any joy, hope someone can help? Thanks John
frank c Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I'm no expert mate , but have you cleaned the idle control valve..? I'm sure the experts will be along soon Frank
drb5 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Idle control valve controls the idle, so i wouldn't have thought it to be that. I'd suggest having a look at your coil packs. Undone the 12mm bolt and pop one off at a time. Pull back the rubber end and see if you can find any hairline cracks. If there is at least one, that could be your problem, then put a post in wanted section, as they are kind of expensive from Subaru. Failing that, i'd then replace your plugs.
road warrior Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 OK thanks for that. i'll have a look tomorrow and see whats there... All the best John
road warrior Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 1 coilpack with LAGRE crack So I'd guess thats been the problem! Getting sorted out with one tonight Thanks for your help John
